          equated to $2,040 in income and made an income adjustment for               
          $2,040, which is characterized in the notice of deficiency as a             
          "Frivolous Deduction".3                                                     
               In November 1994, petitioner prepared and sent to respondent           
          another Form 1040X for 1992, in which petitioner listed the same            
          amount of gross income reported on the 1992 amended return,                 
          $24,304; however, on this second amended return, petitioner                 
          listed $12,087.49 as "nontaxable compensation, compensation                 
          exclusion".  This second amended return listed a tax of $416 and            
          claimed a refund of $1,256.  Petitioner also signed the second              
          1992 amended return and stamped above his signature "Without                
          Prejudice UCC 1-207".  In the explanation portion of the Form               
          1040X, petitioner included a compilation of tax protester                   
          gibberish.  This second 1992 amended return was not accepted for            
          filing by respondent.                                                       


          3                                                                           
               The notice of deficiency states, in pertinent part:                    
               The * * * [1992 amended return] was based on various                   
               tax protestor arguments, including the taxpayer's                      
               contention that income taxes are voluntary, wages are                  
               not includable in taxable income, and that the                         
               Sixteenth Amendment is limited to excise taxes.  The                   
               Service Center erroneously processed the taxpayer's                    
               claim and abated $574 of his tax liability.  The                       
               taxpayer received a refund for this abatement.                         
          The assessment of petitioner's 1992 taxes, based on the filed               
          1992 return, remained except for the $574 abatement resulting               
          from the 1992 amended return.  Thus, the deficiency for 1992 is             
          limited to the $574 abatement.
